so we’ve tried explaining vaccines using science and that scared people
but what if
instead
we told them that vaccines actually contain magic rocks or healing energy
“we left this rabies vaccine in the light of a full moon to cleanse it, so it’s safe. everyone knows about the link between rabies and full moons :)”
“vaccination is an ancient practice going back at least hundreds of years that draws on your body’s natural healing abilities to let you fight disease naturally”
the, the second one is
shit that’s how vaccines actually work

Medusa with the Head of Perseus, Luciano Garbati, 2008
I adore how she carries his head low, at her side, and not aloft in triumph. This is not a self-aggrandizing hero lauding her great deed. This is a woman who wanted to be left the fuck alone.
Also look at her body. The double hips. The asymetrical boobs. She’s thin, but she’s realistic as hell. That’s a real woman.
And the look in her eyes. Damn.
I originally saw photos of Garbati’s Medusa a long time ago, but I specifically remember this post from earlier this year. Medusa was one of those pieces that really buried into my head and heart. Sounds silly, but just looking at it gives me strength.
Today I was lucky enough to see it in person. She’s incredible. And, something that the original pictures don’t show— she’s HUGE!
I love this even better now that we can see the baffled look on Perseus’s face.

the fact that amy adams didn’t win for sharp objects makes my blood fucking boil she is the most underrated actesss of our generation and this is legitimately her best role to date and the fact that once again she has been overlooked is unforgivable AND she has just as many oscar nominations as leonardo decaprio and there was a whole ass movement about giving him an oscar bc he had been nominated so many times. where is that kind of passion for miss adams???? and on top of that she’s gotten as many nominations as he has in a shorter period of time. we need more love and respect and recognition for amy adams this is the hill i will die on

Intimacy is beyond kisses and cuddles and sex. Intimacy is getting a headache and taking a nap, and waking up to your laundry folded and your partner rubbing your back. Intimacy is crying and yelling at night about your past to someone who listens and comforts you. Intimacy is watching shows in your pjs for hours and eating pizza together and being able to communicate love through holding hands. It’s never running out of conversation but doing it anyways to enjoy silence.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Intimacy was defined by my health teacher as: Being able to feel vulnerable with someone while still feeling safe.

And clearly they’re not far off the mark if he’s going through her phone and doing these kinds of “tests” to uncover and instigate shit

This quote
We live in a simulation.
Those right-wing maniacs are really trying hard don’t they? Unable to win any argument - so all brain power focusing into making up fake content.
How low the Republicans go when they are scared of powerful women.
“Republican attempt to shame female politician with nude photoshop pictures debunked by foot fetishist using Wikifeet”
That’s a real thing that happened
That’s an actual news story that occured
What even is this planet
WikiWHAT?!

The best part is that they seem to be learning how to make their own chocolate croissants.

I don’t really know who I am as an actor: the best thing would be to experiment with it for the next 30 years and never really find out.

Hey instead of a Harry Potter world there should be a lord of the rings world where it’s super immersive and you’re given a sword when you enter the world and giant spiders chase you and the elf actors eat dirt and offer you some
can we befriend and/or flirt with the giant spiders asking for a friend
It’s you’re adventure you can do whatever you want but watch out!
HI, THIS EXISTS, IT’S CALLED EVERMORE PARK, IT’S IN PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH
it’s more of a DND park but it’s fantasy and characters give you quests and when you finish quests they give you a tarot card with the characters on it
The town functions as a real-time story with a plot and everybody has backstory and movie-quality makeup and shit
Guys I’ve been and it’s fucking unbelievable

I have a headcanon that Hermione insists her children attend some primary muggle schooling before Hogwarts, just as she had done. Now, imagine Arthur Weasley attending his grandchild’s science fair, being the ultra proud grandfather….and yet also completely geeking out over absolutely EVERYTHING.
Canon
“That is a volcano, that is a VERY SMALL VOLCANO, how - young lady, how did you make this? Baking soda and food coloring? MARVELOUS!”
the kids would love him.
Never have I ever loved anything more than I love this
All the muggle teachers would think he was being so adorable, “pretending” not to know how potato batteries and mini-volcanoes work, fawning over the hard work the kids did on even the simplest the projects. And he comes every year, because after the kids have aged out (”gone on to some boarding school in Scotland,” the teachers say over bad coffee in the break room, “they didn’t seem the type”), he gets an honorary invitation to the fair every year, because he never stops making the kids feel smart and good.

achilles: when I die, mingle our ashes together so that we may be together for eternity
historians: f is for friends who do stuff together
We’re seriously escalating the astronomically out-of-touch “academia is hiding all the gay from you*” meme on this forsaken hellsite to “Academics Who Study Ancient Greece Are No-Homoing Achilles?”
reALLY? *REALLY???* That is not remotely a current or mainstream school of thought. I mean, fuck, if you go to JSTOR and search for “Patroclus” your third result is an article called “Achilles and Patroclus in Love” from 1978.
This shit is dangerously anti-intellectual. It’s hard enough for the humanities to retain funding as it is, the last fucking thing we need is an erosion of the perception of its authenticity/necessity coming from the Left as well. And believe you me, that is exactly where this road leads. It’s the exact same playbook that the far right uses but with a different hat.
reblogged for commentary
It’s not the historians, it’s the high school curriculum.
IT’S THE HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Yup. And the Hollywood versions are of course based on the high school curriculum…

Guys think we are over exaggerating. There were so many situations that I also had to make an assessment and came to the conclusion I should have a weapon hidden on me just in case. I keep a mini screw driver in my purse. It is an eye glasses screw driver, but it can do a decent amount of damage.
